We only spent one night here, but really enjoyed our stay. The B&B is right in the countryside, in between Ambleside and Coniston, so is really quiet and peaceful. We had booked the 'small double', but were quite happy with the size of the room. It had been newly decorated, and had lots of nice touches such as flowers in... More

This was our first time visiting the Lake District and we needed a place that could accommodate a family of 3...the Barn at High Grassings fit the bill perfectly. I liked the fact that it was away from the main house- we felt like we were in our own little cottage. The Barn is beautifully furnished and its layout is... More

I was taken to High Grassings as a surprise weekend, so I had no idea what to expect, but what a delight! The surrounding countryside views are superb and High Grassing's gardens are lovely as well. We were staying in the garden suite which is located away from the main house. At first glance I was somewhat dubious as it... More

High Grassings is a beautiful, old, completely renovated Bed and Breakfast located only a short distance from Ambleside or Hawkshead in the Lake District. Since the majority of what we wanted to see was the Lake District countryside, we chose High Grassings. The room was well appointed and our view was spectacular. It is about 1 mile from the Drunkin'... More

The sun was out and the weather forecast for the weekend was good.....so we booked High Grassings completely blind.....it turned out to be awesome. The setting is beautiful, the service great, the breakfast scrumptious, and the proprietors made us feel completely at home. Easy to find, lots of car parking and a perfect base for walking, driving, and cycling (road... More

Firstly, the website itself does not do High Grassings the justice it deserves. I stayed in The Barn Suite with my partner, it was our first time in Ambleside (Hawkshead particularly) and it certainly won't be our last! Firstly, The Guesthouse is set in absolutely stunning surroundings, set off the beaten track with amazing views and not a sound. The... More

Travelled at the end of January 2012. We stayed at High Grassings for 2 nights and had a fantastic time. The views from the B&B are absolutely stunning. Our room was large enough for the two of us with a nicely sized en suite bathroom. Rooms were clean and tidy without being cluttered and everything we needed was easily accessible.... More

Increduible location, stunning views, very friendly service and impeccably turned out and maintained. Would recommend to anyone.

We stayed for one night on Saturday 19 November. We paid for the larger double room and were very impressed with the warm welcome and high standard of decor. The owner could not have been more helpful with taxis, directions and even local walks for us to follow. Breakfast was lovely, served with a smile. A highly recommended B&B in... More
